James Cameron Ends the "Raft" Plothole

Vulture had a funny post about James Cameron finally putting to rest the common complain that Jack could have also fit on the Raft with Rose. I find it pretty comical that he finally responded 15 years later, like it was eating away at him for a long time or something.

“It’s not a question of room; it’s a question of buoyancy. Jack puts Rose on the raft, then he gets on the raft — He’s not an idiot; he doesn’t want to die — and then the raft sinks. So it’s clear that there’s really only enough buoyancy available for one person. So, he makes a decision to let her be that person.”

This controversey is going to be settled on an upcoming episode of "Mythbusters". Anything to get Kari in a wetsuit again, I guess. I stopped watching after the horrifically bad "airplane on a treadmill" episode.
